    Yet it gets downvoted… bro. If what you’re saying is true, I would expect the opposite outcome.

    It just boils down to thoughts and prayers.

      You’re probably getting downvowted because you came off like a prick

        I’m sorry that calling out passive supporters of genocide makes me look like a prick, I’ll take those downvotes with price.

      I don’t see why you would expect upvotes for snidely implying the worst about people in here though.

      I’ve almost de-googled and came here when I saw the crosspost was in this community especially because I was hoping for discussion on degoogling.

        So have one and don’t focus on me? Seems like a waste of your time to just get a kick in.

  I have. I pay for a non-Google alternative email service.

  I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I’ll probably never be able to completely separate due to the number of accounts linked to it, but I’ve been eyeing Proton or similar paid privacy focused offerings.

      People can also use that single required Google account for YouTube without participating in services beyond that.

    Now we know why using provider specific SSO over email is a bad thing. You could put the effort into it, or you support Israel. 🤷‍♂️

  I’m sending this article to my girlfriend to convince her to ditch her Gmail account.

  Not sure it’s gonna work 😅

  On Lemmy, I’m almost sure only a few use Gmail because everyone is kind of tech savvy.

  Ditching YouTube is more complicated, but ditching Gmail is easy.

    The hilarity of thinking people here are tech savvy because they have an app is pretty cute to me. This place is slightly less accessible than Reddit but it’s hardly difficult to navigate around.

      Maybe tech savvy isn’t the right word, but grandma and grandpa might end up on Reddit, but not on Lemmy

    Fortunately, there are lots of options. A suggestion: have her buy a cheap domain name, so she can take her email address to any service. Forward the gmail and slowly change over.
